My 15-year-old daughter landed her first job this summer as a dishwasher at the local cafe, making $16 an hour. And I was filling with pride and unrequested advice.
After her first shift, my daughter issued her grievances. She was on her feet for hours on end! The water was extremely hot! She was too busy to eat dinner! And every time she turned around, the sink was piled high with pots and pans covered in cheese and sauce!
I panicked. Over the next few days, I tried talking to my daughter about what she could do differently. I tried coaching her on how to ask her manager for a 15-minute snack break. And I offered her a pair of rubber gloves. My daughter would have none of it.
As the weeks wore on, she got to know the work well. Oh, she still complained. But she told me that she was gamifying (游戏化) the washing system, that the line cooks had an amusing middle school sense of humor, and that the head chef was developing a dessert that she got to taste-test before it hit the menu. Plus, there was the money.
The other day she said that during her first week at work, she didn’t understand how to clock in and out on the time clock (考勤钟).“So, I told my boss the clock wasn’t working for me and I texted him my hours,” she said. “But later on, I watched a few other people clock in and figured it out.”
“You know, sometimes it’s OK to ask for help,” I advised.
As soon as I saw her wounded look, I regretted my words. Why was I correcting her when she’d eventually found the solution on her own That was her chance to grow, learn, and gain independence and responsibility.
Last night she told me excitedly the boss asked her to do some salad preparation. When I heard the news, I smiled happily. A promotion already! For a teenager, having a summer job is a beautiful growing experience, and for a parent, watching your child experience it is an exercise in learning to let go.
24. What does the underlined word “grievances” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Standards. B. Securities. C. Warnings. D. Complaints.
25. What can we learn about the daughter from the fourth paragraph
A. She adapted herself to the job. B. She tried to impress the chef.
C. She liked playing games at work. D. She earned a higher salary.
26. Why did the daughter wear a wounded look
A. She didn’t know how to ask for help. B. She was wounded while washing dishes.
C. She didn’t get enough support from the boss. D. She was dissatisfied with her mother’s words.

Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty.
Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if their leaves touch.
They then exposed tobacco plant — the plant biologist’s version of the laboratory mouse — to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect.
“Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals.”
28. What can we learn about plants from the first paragraph
A. They may enjoy Western music. B. They can’t stand Buddhist music.
C. They can react to different sounds. D. They can make different sounds.
29. What’s the basis for Appel and Cocroft’s research
A. Plants can make a cry for help. B. Plants evolve alongside insects.
C. Plants are sensitive to the sounds. D. Plants have been studied for years.
30. What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3
A. They can recongnize harmful vibrations. B. They look like laboratory mice.
C. They can threaten the caterpillars. D. They can release poisonous chemicals.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Disadvantages of chemical pesticides. B. Application of the experimental results.
C. Interaction between plants and insects. D. Warning system of widespread insects.
D
I have some important information. The average American... Oh, wait.〈ding!〉New notification. CNN: something about Taylor and Travis. Hmmm.〈ding!〉And our dog food is out for delivery.〈ding!〉A winter sales promotion of soap and socks. Whew....
The average American reportedly gets about 70 smartphone notifications a day. And according to a new study, the number is far higher for teenagers, whose phones ding hundreds or even thousands of times. This constant sound puts us off from work, life, and each other.
“The simple ding of a notification is enough to pull our attention elsewhere,” Kosta Kushlev, a behavioral scientist at Georgetown University, told us. “Even if we don’t check them. This can have obvious effects on productivity, but also our own well-being and of those around us. Humans are not good at multitasking. It takes extra time and effort to switch our attention. We get interrupted so many times a day that these effects can add up to meaningful decreases in our well-being and social connection,” he added.
I am grateful to learn that the Bears have won. I’m eager for messages from my family. But I wonder why The New York Times feels it is urgent to inform me, as they did this week, about “The 6 Best Men’s and Women’s Sweaters”.
This is, of course, a circumstance mostly of our own creation, constructed click by click. We can choose to check notifications just a couple of times a day. But does that risk delay, real or imagined, in seeing something we really need to see Or that would simply delight us
The promise of instant communication has grown into information congestion (拥堵). So many urgent notifications, not many of which are truly urgent; and only a few are even interesting. So many hours spent staring at the small screen, and searching for news, gossip, opportunity, and direction, while so often being unaware of the world all around us.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Americans favor new notifications. B. Smartphones can promote products.
C. New notifications constantly interrupt. D. Push notification technology is advanced.
33. Which word best describes Kushlev’s attitude to the ding of a notification
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
34. Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A. The prospect of push notifications looks promising.
B. Push notifications help users understand the world a lot.
C. Most of the instant notifications are unimportant.
D. Smartphone users should search for information directly.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Fewer Dings, Please! B. Times Have Changed!
C. Information Era Is Approaching. D. Smartphone Addiction Has Increased.

67. 阅读下面材料 ，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Thursday morning. Phil was on a mission. Hurrying along the Primary 3 corridor, he was looking for his younger brother Jimmy, who had left the house early to walk to school with a friend and had forgotten his pocket money. As a Primary 6 boy, Phil had been asked to make sure that Jimmy had it in time for break.
Phil was about to enter his brother’s classroom when he thought he saw the back of his brother’s jacket further ahead. It must have been Jimmy. No one else in the school had a jacket like that one. “Hey Jimmy!” he called out but his brother did not stop. Phil rushed forward and grabbed hold of the boy. But it wasn’t Jimmy. It was someone Phil had never seen before and he was wearing Jimmy’s jacket. As the boy struggled to break free, Mrs. Atkins came towards them. Immediately, sensing the teacher’s presence, Phil released his grasp. Staring at both boys, Mrs. Atkins ordered them to follow her. Once they were at the school office, Mrs. Atkins asked the younger of the two to explain.
“I was walking along the corridor when this boy grabbed me. I didn’t do anything!” explained Daniel.
“He stole my brother’s jacket,” explained Phil.
“Liar!” Daniel immediately jumped to his feet and faced Phil, his fists tightly closed. “I have never stolen anything! This jacket is from my mother. Stop saying that!”
“Boys! I am sure this is a simple misunderstanding. Isn’t possible that this is just an identical jacket, Phil ” Mrs. Atkins reasoned.
Phil shook his head forcefully. “My mother got that jacket for me when she was overseas some years ago. Go on, look at the label inside the collar. It will say ‘Di Roma’. That’s because she got it in Rome. That is my jacket which I’ve outgrow n so Jimmy, my younger brother, has been using it.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing that, Mrs. Atkins asked Daniel for permission to look at the label.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A short while later, Mrs. Atkins explained that she had called Daniel’s mother.

My 15-year-old daughter landed her first job this summer as a dishwasher at the local cafe, making $16 an hour. And I was filling with pride and unrequested advice.
After her first shift, my daughter issued her grievances. She was on her feet for hours on end! The water was extremely hot! She was too busy to eat dinner! And every time she turned around, the sink was piled high with pots and pans covered in cheese and sauce!
I panicked. Over the next few days, I tried talking to my daughter about what she could do differently. I tried coaching her on how to ask her manager for a 15-minute snack break. And I offered her a pair of rubber gloves. My daughter would have none of it.
As the weeks wore on, she got to know the work well. Oh, she still complained. But she told me that she was gamifying (游戏化) the washing system, that the line cooks had an amusing middle school sense of humor, and that the head chef was developing a dessert that she got to taste-test before it hit the menu. Plus, there was the money.
The other day she said that during her first week at work, she didn’t understand how to clock in and out on the time clock (考勤钟).“So, I told my boss the clock wasn’t working for me and I texted him my hours,” she said. “But later on, I watched a few other people clock in and figured it out.”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们对植物对声音的感知和反应一直在进行研究，近期的研究显示植物可以对不同的声音做出反应，识别出有害的振动，产生更高水平的防御性化学物质。基于该研究结果，科学家们认为声波可以作为一种无污染的替代方法来保护农作物免受昆虫的侵袭。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty. (2018年发表的一篇论文声称，一种被称为舞草的亚洲灌木在暴露在56天的佛教音乐中时，叶子长得更大，但如果暴露于西方流行音乐或寂静中，叶子就不会长大。去年发表的另一项研究发现，金盏花和鼠尾草暴露在繁忙的高速公路上的交通噪音中，生长困难)”可知，暴露在不同声音环境中的植物生长情况不同，它们会对不同的声音做出反应。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. (几亿年来，植物一直与以它们为食的昆虫一起进化。考虑到这一点，休斯敦大学的植物学家Heidi Appel和密苏里大学的生物学家Reginald Cocroft想知道，植物是否可能对它们最常接触的动物发出的声音敏感)”可知，Appel和Cocroft的研究基础是植物在和昆虫一起进化。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect. (暴露在外的叶子含有更高水平的防御性化学物质，这使得毛毛虫更难吃到它们。没有暴露在振动下的叶子没有这种反应。其他种类的振动——例如，由风或其他不吃树叶的昆虫引起的振动——没有影响)”可知，暴露在有害振动中的植物产生了更多防御性化学物质，没有被暴露或暴露在其他类型的振动中的植物则没有该反应。由此推知，植物能识别有害的振动。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals.” (Cocroft博士说：“现在，有正确音频文件的扬声器更常被用来警告作物，当发现昆虫但尚未广泛传播时采取行动。与化学杀虫剂不同，声音不会留下危险的化学物质。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了该实验结果的应用情况，可以利用正确的声音提前警告作物，对刚开始传播的昆虫采取行动。故选B项。
D
I have some important information. The average American... Oh, wait.〈ding!〉New notification. CNN: something about Taylor and Travis. Hmmm.〈ding!〉And our dog food is out for delivery.〈ding!〉A winter sales promotion of soap and socks. Whew....
The average American reportedly gets about 70 smartphone notifications a day. And according to a new study, the number is far higher for teenagers, whose phones ding hundreds or even thousands of times. This constant sound puts us off from work, life, and each other.
“The simple ding of a notification is enough to pull our attention elsewhere,” Kosta Kushlev, a behavioral scientist at Georgetown University, told us. “Even if we don’t check them. This can have obvious effects on productivity, but also our own well-being and of those around us. Humans are not good at multitasking. It takes extra time and effort to switch our attention. We get interrupted so many times a day that these effects can add up to meaningful decreases in our well-being and social connection,” he added.
I am grateful to learn that the Bears have won. I’m eager for messages from my family. But I wonder why The New York Times feels it is urgent to inform me, as they did this week, about “The 6 Best Men’s and Women’s Sweaters”.
This is, of course, a circumstance mostly of our own creation, constructed click by click. We can choose to check notifications just a couple of times a day. But does that risk delay, real or imagined, in seeing something we really need to see Or that would simply delight us
The promise of instant communication has grown into information congestion (拥堵). So many urgent notifications, not many of which are truly urgent; and only a few are even interesting. So many hours spent staring at the small screen, and searching for news, gossip, opportunity, and direction, while so often being unaware of the world all around us.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Americans favor new notifications. B. Smartphones can promote products.
C. New notifications constantly interrupt. D. Push notification technology is advanced.
33. Which word best describes Kushlev’s attitude to the ding of a notification
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
34. Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A. The prospect of push notifications looks promising.
B. Push notifications help users understand the world a lot.
C. Most of the instant notifications are unimportant.
D. Smartphone users should search for information directly.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Fewer Dings, Please! B. Times Have Changed!
C. Information Era Is Approaching. D. Smartphone Addiction Has Increased.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了现代人因为手机通知而分心，导致工作和生活受到干扰。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I have some important information. The average American... Oh, wait. 〈ding!〉 New notification. CNN: something about Taylor and Travis. Hmmm.〈ding!〉 And our dog food is out for delivery. 〈ding!〉A winter sales promotion of soap and socks. Whew....”（我有一些重要的信息。普通的美国人……哦,等等。<叮!>新增通知。CNN：关于泰勒和特拉维斯的事。嗯，<叮!>我们的狗粮已经送出去了。<叮!>肥皂和袜子的冬季促销活动。唷……）可知，该段主要描述了频繁接收到的各种手机通知影响了人们的正常生活。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The simple ding of a notification is enough to pull our attention elsewhere,” Kosta Kushlev, a behavioral scientist at Georgetown University, told us. “Even if we don’t check them. This can have obvious effects on productivity, but also our own well-being and of those around us. Humans are not good at multitasking. It takes extra time and effort to switch our attention. We get interrupted so many times a day that these effects can add up to meaningful decreases in our well-being and social connection,” he added.”（乔治城大学的行为科学家科斯塔·库什列夫告诉我们:“简单的提示声就足以把我们的注意力转移到别处。”“即使我们不检查它们。这对生产力有明显的影响，对我们自己和周围人的幸福也有明显的影响。人类不擅长多任务处理。它需要额外的时间和精力来转移我们的注意力。我们每天被打断很多次，这些影响加起来会导致我们的幸福感和社会联系明显下降，”他补充道。）可知，库什列夫认为通知的提示声会转移我们的注意力，影响工作效率和幸福感，故他的态度是不赞成的。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“So many urgent notifications, not many of which are truly urgent; and only a few are even interesting.”（这么多紧急通知，其中真正紧急的并不多；而且只有少数是有趣的。）可知，作者认为大多数即时通知并没有那么重要。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I have some important information. The average American... Oh, wait. 〈ding!〉 New notification. CNN: something about Taylor and Travis. Hmmm.〈ding!〉 And our dog food is out for delivery. 〈ding!〉A winter sales promotion of soap and socks. Whew....”（我有一些重要的信息。普通的美国人……哦,等等。<叮!>新增通知。CNN：关于泰勒和特拉维斯的事。嗯，<叮!>我们的狗粮已经送出去了。<叮!>肥皂和袜子的冬季促销活动。唷……）及最后一段最后一句“So many hours spent staring at the small screen, and searching for news, gossip, opportunity, and direction, while so often being unaware of the world all around us.”（我们花了很多时间盯着小屏幕，寻找新闻、八卦、机会和方向，却常常对周围的世界一无所知。）并结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了现代人因为各种各样的手机通知而分心，导致工作和生活受到干扰，因此作者倡议要减少手机通知，回顾现实生活。故选A项。

“Anxiety.” The very word causes discomfort. Its effects—shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension—are upsetting. Research shows that in and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, and it certainly is not a disease. ____36____. Once we accept the idea, we can use it to do well. Here are three aspects anxiety can help you.
It can build your emotional strength and toughness
Working out at the gym is supposed to be hard and uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what you can easily do. ____37____, if you want to build emotional strength and toughness. The experience of occasional anxiety and tension increases your emotional strength.
____38____
Humans are social creatures. The number one predictor of happiness is not financial success, or fame. It’s the quality of our relationships. In the same way, sharing our anxieties with our loved ones is one of the most effective strategies to build connection.
It can help you readjust and rebalance
Often, all of us find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we just don’t have enough time to get everything done. We feel uncomfortably anxious most of the time. In such cases, what we’re experiencing is called stress. ____39____. The only real solutions to stress are to decrease our demands or increase our resources. Therefore, when we feel anxious because of stress, it’s our body’s way of telling us to readjust and rebalance. When we notice our internal cues, we become more focused overall and less stressed.
Therefore, anxiety can be a healthy, helpful emotion that is a constructive aspect of human life. ____40____.
A. Anxiety can have a more specific meaning
B. It’s about time we start to put it to good use
C. It’s no wonder that anxiety is causing us much concern

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，研究表明，焦虑对我们有好处，可以帮助我们建立情感力量和韧性、建立更深层次的关系，以及帮助我们调整和平衡自己。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“Research shows that in and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, and it certainly is not a disease.(研究表明，焦虑本身并不是致命的，它当然也不是一种疾病。)”可知，研究表明焦虑并不是一种疾病。选项F“Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health(恰恰相反：它是大脑和感官健康的一个暗示)”延续上文内容，指出焦虑并不是疾病，反而表明我们的大脑和感官是健康的。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据空前“Working out at the gym is supposed to be hard and uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what you can easily do. (在健身房锻炼应该是艰苦和不舒服的，因为它需要我们的体力超过你可以轻松做到的。)”以及空后“if you want to build emotional strength and toughness. The experience of occasional anxiety and tension increases your emotional strength. (如果你想建立情感力量和韧性。偶尔的焦虑和紧张会增强你的情绪力量。)”可知，空前空后是相似的。选项E“Similarly, you need to face some degree of mental hardship(同样，你需要面对某种程度的精神困难)”承上启下，承接上文指出想要身体健康，就要进行超负荷的体力训练；而下文则指出想要建立情感力量和韧性，我们在精神上也需要锻炼。故选E。
【38题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Humans are social creatures. The number one predictor of happiness is not financial success, or fame. It’s the quality of our relationships. In the same way, sharing our anxieties with our loved ones is one of the most effective strategies to build connection.(人类是群居动物。幸福的首要预测因素不是经济上的成功，也不是名声。是我们关系的质量。同样，与我们所爱的人分享我们的焦虑是建立联系最有效的策略之一。)”可知，本段讲述的是焦虑有助于我们建立联系。选项D“It can increase your emotional relationship and connection(它可以增加你的情感关系和联系)”正是本段内容的概述。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Often, all of us find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we just don’t have enough time to get everything done. We feel uncomfortably anxious most of the time. In such cases, what we’re experiencing is called stress.(通常，我们所有人都发现自己已经走投无路了。我们的责任越来越重，我们的资源越来越少，我们没有足够的时间来完成所有的事情。大多数时候，我们都感到不安和焦虑。在这种情况下，我们所经历的就是压力。)”可知，当我们觉得责任越来越重，资源越来越少，然而没有足够的时间来完成所有的事情的时候，我们都感到不安和焦虑。选项G“Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources(简单地说，施加在我们身上的需求超过了我们现有的资源)”是上文内容的总结，指的是当施加在我们身上的需求超过了我们现有的资源时，我们就产生了压力。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文内容“Therefore, anxiety can be a healthy, helpful emotion that is a constructive aspect of human life.(因此，焦虑可以是一种健康的、有益的情绪，是人类生活的一个建设性方面。)”可知，焦虑是一种健康的、有益的情绪。选项B“It’s about time we start to put it to good use(是时候好好利用它了)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是焦虑是一种健康的、有益的情绪，所以我们应该好好利用焦虑。故选B。

57. ultimately
58. procedures
59. invited
60. cuter 61. which
62. was uploaded
63. preservation
64. was 65. to determine
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两只大熊猫“瑞宝”和“辉宝”在韩国首次面向大众展出时的景象，熊猫深受民众喜爱，动物园也会密切关注熊猫的健康状况。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：韩国人在揭幕仪式上第一次近距离观察了新出生的大熊猫宝宝，这也是这对双胞胎出生后100天的庆祝仪式。“early celebration”是可数名词单数，应该添加冠词，这里特指两只大熊猫百天庆典，故填the。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：这些名字最终是通过两个公开投票程序决定的。ultimate是形容词，意思是“最终的”，在句子里它修饰的是谓语“were decided”，所以应该变成副词使用。故填ultimately。
【58题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：这些名字最终是通过两个公开投票程序决定的。procedure是可数名词，意思是“步骤”，横线前面有“two”，应该将其变成复数。故填procedures。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：50万熊猫爱好者帮助选择了他们的名字，一些幸运的粉丝被邀请参加了这个仪式。分析句子可知，本句的谓语是“helped”，所以invite在句中只能充当非谓语动词，它的逻辑主语是“lucky fans(幸运的粉丝)”，二者呈被动关系，应用过去分词。故填invited。
【60题详解】
考查比较级。句意：他们在现实生活中比在屏幕上看起来更可爱。根据下文的“than they appear on scree”可知，相比于电视上，熊猫更可爱，应该使用比较急，cute是形容词，意思是“可爱的”，其比较级是cuter。故填cuter。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这两只刚开始长牙和爬行的熊猫宝宝非常健康。分析句子可知，本句是非限定性定语从句，先行词是pandas，指物，横线在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：自上传以来，这对双胞胎的出生获得了64万次的点击量。upload是动词，意思是上传。横线前的it指代上文中的熊猫视频，视频应该是被上传的，所以横线需要使用被动语态；根据上文的“has gained”可知，视频是过去被上传的，到现在才能获得64万播放，所以时态是一般过去时，主语是单数，be动词使用was。故填was uploaded。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：这是一个很好的机会来呼吁人们更好地保护熊猫。根据横线前的better可知，横线应该使用名词，preserve是动词，意思是“保护”，其名词是preservation，而且是不可数名词，故填preservation。
【64题详解】
考查主谓一致及时态。句意：钟指出，在熊猫出生的结果中，40%到50%是双胞胎。分析句子可知，这个句子是个宾语从句，主句的谓语是noted，使用了一般过去时，所以其从句也应使用一般过去时；横线在从句中充当谓语，主语是“between 40% and 50% of panda births result)”，核心词是“result”，是个单数，be动词使用was。故填was。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：埃弗兰表示，他们将监测这对双胞胎的健康状况，以确定这对双胞胎何时可以向公众开放。本句符合固定句型“it+v.+to do”，determine是个动词，意思是“决定”。故填to determine。

67. 阅读下面材料 ，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Thursday morning. Phil was on a mission. Hurrying along the Primary 3 corridor, he was looking for his younger brother Jimmy, who had left the house early to walk to school with a friend and had forgotten his pocket money. As a Primary 6 boy, Phil had been asked to make sure that Jimmy had it in time for break.
Phil was about to enter his brother’s classroom when he thought he saw the back of his brother’s jacket further ahead. It must have been Jimmy. No one else in the school had a jacket like that one. “Hey Jimmy!” he called out but his brother did not stop. Phil rushed forward and grabbed hold of the boy. But it wasn’t Jimmy. It was someone Phil had never seen before and he was wearing Jimmy’s jacket. As the boy struggled to break free, Mrs. Atkins came towards them. Immediately, sensing the teacher’s presence, Phil released his grasp. Staring at both boys, Mrs. Atkins ordered them to follow her. Once they were at the school office, Mrs. Atkins asked the younger of the two to explain.
“I was walking along the corridor when this boy grabbed me. I didn’t do anything!” explained Daniel.
“He stole my brother’s jacket,” explained Phil.
“Liar!” Daniel immediately jumped to his feet and faced Phil, his fists tightly closed. “I have never stolen anything! This jacket is from my mother. Stop saying that!”
“Boys! I am sure this is a simple misunderstanding. Isn’t possible that this is just an identical jacket, Phil ” Mrs. Atkins reasoned.
Phil shook his head forcefully. “My mother got that jacket for me when she was overseas some years ago. Go on, look at the label inside the collar. It will say ‘Di Roma’. That’s because she got it in Rome. That is my jacket which I’ve outgrow n so Jimmy, my younger brother, has been using it.”

【答案】Hearing that, Mrs. Atkins asked Daniel for permission to look at the label. Daniel was angry, but he agreed. After checking the label, the teacher was surprised to find that just as Phil said, ‘Di Roma’ was written on the label. It was obvious that Phil had told the truth. However, Daniel insisted that it was his own jacket, which his mother bought him as a present. Phil was angry and insisted that it be returned to his brother at once.
A short while later, Mrs. Atkins explained that she had called Daniel’s mother. Daniel’s mother arrived. Knowing what had happened, she was surprised and confirmed that the jacket belonged to Daniel. Then she explained that it was bought two years ago, when she was on business in Rome. At that moment, Jimmy, who had been sent for, came in, wearing his own jacket. Wow, it was such a coincidence!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了男孩Phil发现弟弟上学去了没有带零花钱，急忙去给他去送，在楼道走廊他发现了弟弟，一把拽住去发现不是弟弟，只是穿着和弟弟一样的夹克，他认为这个男孩偷了弟弟的衣服。男孩说是自己的衣服，是妈妈买的。Phil坚持说他确定是弟弟的。讲述了这件衣服是妈妈在出国时在罗马买的，并告诉老师可以查看一下衣领的标签上写着Di Roma。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“听到这些，阿特金斯夫人请求丹尼尔允许她看看标签。”可知，第一段可描写老师查看衣领上的标签，发现确实如Phil所说。
②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，阿特金斯太太解释说她给丹尼尔的母亲打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写丹尼尔的妈妈解释这件衣服的来历，确认衣服的主人。
2.续写线索：查看标签——丹尼尔坚持——打电话通知丹尼尔妈妈——妈妈解释——误会解除
